Definitions
- the present invention relates to extrusions and in particular to extrusion of thermoplastic materials.
- a process for the production of coextruded gussetless multi-wall sheets is disclosed. Also disclosed is an extrusion die for the production of such sheets.
- the inventive coextrusion process entails feeding part of the base material directly into the male insert of the multi-wall extrusion die to produce a gussetless sheet
- Multi-wall sheets are often provided where one or both of the outer coextruded walls are capable of performing any of a variety of functions.
- one or both outside walls may provide UV protection for the sheet against damage (e.g. yellowing) by UV radiation, but other functions, e.g. IR reflection, are also performed in this way.
- EP-A 0 110 221 discloses sheets consisting of two layers of polycarbonate, one layer containing at least 3 wt. % of a UV absorber. These sheets may be produced by coextrusion according to EP-A 0 110 221.
- EP-A 0 320 632 discloses moldings consisting of two layers of thermoplastic, preferably polycarbonate, one layer containing a specially substituted benzotriazoles as UV absorbers. EP-A 0 320 632 also discloses the production of these moldings by coextrusion.
- EP-A 0 247 480 discloses multi-layer sheets in the structure of which includes a layer of branched polycarbonate and a layer of thermoplastic, the polycarbonate layer containing a specially substituted benzotriazoles as UV absorbers. The production of these sheets by coextrusion is also disclosed.
- EP-A 0 500 496 discloses polymer compositions stabilized against UV light with special triazines, and their use as the outer layer on a multi-wall sheet.
- the polymers mentioned are polycarbonate, polyester, polyamides, polyacetals, polyphenylene oxide and polyphenylene sulfide.
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a multi-wall sheet, showing the formation of gussets. Feed of the polymer melt at ( 1 ) results in a flow of the polymer melt from the top and bottom into the multi-wall mould (arrows). This in turn leads to the formation of gussets in the coextruded layer ( 2 ).
- FIG. 2 shows a section through a multi-wall sheet showing the process when pressing more main resin material from the opposite side of the coextruded one. Increased polymer feed from the side opposite to the coextruded side of the sheet ( 3 ) leads to a distribution of the melt from bottom to top resulting in a gussetless coextruded layer ( 4 ).
- FIG. 3 shows section through a multi-wall plate, showing what this effect would look like with coextrusion both sides of the sheet. Increased polymer feed at ( 5 ) will lead to a gussetless coextruded layer ( 6 ) and a coextruded layer with a thick gusset ( 7 ).
- FIG. 4 shows a section through a multi-wall sheet, showing how the process according to the invention works. Additional feed of polymer melt at ( 8 ) through a channel into the multi-wall mould completely avoids the triangle effect leading to coextruded layers ( 9 ), ( 10 ) without gusset formation.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross section of one embodiment of the inventive die. Inflow of polymer melt occurs at ( 12 ) via channels ( 13 ) for feeding melt into the midpart of the male insert ( 14 ) of the die. The top and bottom side die lips are-represented by ( 15 ) and the sheet exits at ( 16 ).
- the objective is therefore to produce a coextruded multi-wall sheet which, in contrast to the state of the art, no longer exhibits the triangle effect.
- the material flow from the outside material streams is reduced or even prevented, as shown in FIG. 4, and the funnel formation and hence the gusset formation or triangle effect is minimized, or preferably even completely avoided, on both sides of the sheet.
- the process according to the invention is therefore suitable for the production of multi-wall sheets coextruded on one or both sides.
- the present invention thus provides a process for applying an outer layer on multi-wall sheets by coextrusion, and the gussetless sheets, or sheets free of the triangle effect, prepared by the process. These sheets are distinguished by a particularly smooth surface and uniform, i.e. gussetless, coextruded layers. A multi-wall sheet coextruded on both sides is a preferred embodiment.
- the present invention therefore also provides an extrusion die for carrying out the process according to the invention.
- the present invention also provides a product containing said sheets.
- This product which contains e.g. said coextruded multi-wall sheet, is preferably selected from the group comprising glazing, greenhouses, conservatories, verandas, car ports, bus shelters, roofings, partitions, cash kiosks and solar collectors.
- the process according to the invention has the substantial advantage of avoiding the triangle effect, which otherwise has noticeable adverse consequences due to gusset formation and the associated wastage of material, and by an uneven sheet surface.
- the coating material wasted in the gusset generally contains valuable thermoplastic containing expensive additives. It may be of considerable financial advantage to save such material.
- the process according to the invention is suitable for the production of a wide variety of coextruded layers and mainly for any conceivable functional layers, including in combination (UV protection and functional layer, e.g. IR reflection on the top and UV protection on the bottom), and is particularly suitable for the production of multi-wall sheets provided with UV protection on both sides.
- UV protection and functional layer e.g. IR reflection on the top and UV protection on the bottom
- coextruded multi-wall sheets according to the invention have further advantages over the state of the art. They may be produced by coextrusion, affording advantages over a product produced by lacquering. Thus, in contrast to lacquering, no solvents volatilize during coextrusion.
- lacquers demand expensive technology. For example, they require explosion-proof machines and solvent recycling, i.e. high investment in plants. Coextrusion does not have this disadvantage.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to extrusions and in particular to extrusion of thermoplastic materials.
- A process for the production of coextruded gussetless multi-wall sheets is disclosed. Also disclosed is an extrusion die for the production of such sheets. The inventive coextrusion process entails feeding part of the base material directly into the male insert of the multi-wall extrusion die to produce a gussetless sheet
- Multi-wall sheets are often provided where one or both of the outer coextruded walls are capable of performing any of a variety of functions. For example, one or both outside walls may provide UV protection for the sheet against damage (e.g. yellowing) by UV radiation, but other functions, e.g. IR reflection, are also performed in this way.
- The state of the art relating to multi-layer products is summarized below.
- EP-A 0 110 221 discloses sheets consisting of two layers of polycarbonate, one layer containing at least 3 wt. % of a UV absorber. These sheets may be produced by coextrusion according to EP-A 0 110 221.
- EP-A 0 320 632 discloses moldings consisting of two layers of thermoplastic, preferably polycarbonate, one layer containing a specially substituted benzotriazoles as UV absorbers. EP-A 0 320 632 also discloses the production of these moldings by coextrusion.
- EP-A 0 247 480 discloses multi-layer sheets in the structure of which includes a layer of branched polycarbonate and a layer of thermoplastic, the polycarbonate layer containing a specially substituted benzotriazoles as UV absorbers. The production of these sheets by coextrusion is also disclosed.
- EP-A 0 500 496 discloses polymer compositions stabilized against UV light with special triazines, and their use as the outer layer on a multi-wall sheet. The polymers mentioned are polycarbonate, polyester, polyamides, polyacetals, polyphenylene oxide and polyphenylene sulfide.
- However, all the coextruded multi-wall sheets known from the state of the art exhibit the so-called “triangle effect”, a defect resulting upon the coextrusion, described as a combination of gussets consisting of the material making up the coextruded layer with unevenness of the surface of the sheet (FIG. 1).
- FIG. 1 shows a section through a multi-wall sheet, showing the formation of gussets. Feed of the polymer melt at (1) results in a flow of the polymer melt from the top and bottom into the multi-wall mould (arrows). This in turn leads to the formation of gussets in the coextruded layer (2).
- FIG. 2 shows a section through a multi-wall sheet showing the process when pressing more main resin material from the opposite side of the coextruded one. Increased polymer feed from the side opposite to the coextruded side of the sheet (3) leads to a distribution of the melt from bottom to top resulting in a gussetless coextruded layer (4).
- FIG. 3 shows section through a multi-wall plate, showing what this effect would look like with coextrusion both sides of the sheet. Increased polymer feed at (5) will lead to a gussetless coextruded layer (6) and a coextruded layer with a thick gusset (7).
- FIG. 4 shows a section through a multi-wall sheet, showing how the process according to the invention works. Additional feed of polymer melt at (8) through a channel into the multi-wall mould completely avoids the triangle effect leading to coextruded layers (9), (10) without gusset formation.
- FIG. 5 shows a cross section of one embodiment of the inventive die. Inflow of polymer melt occurs at (12) via channels (13) for feeding melt into the midpart of the male insert (14) of the die. The top and bottom side die lips are-represented by (15) and the sheet exits at (16).
- Given the state of the art, the objective is therefore to produce a coextruded multi-wall sheet which, in contrast to the state of the art, no longer exhibits the triangle effect.
- This object forms the basis of the present invention.
- In the case of sheets coated-on one side, this problem may be solved with a modified feed of the coextrusion material by increasing the material feed from the non-coextruded side, making it possible to avoid gusset formation on the coextruded side (FIG. 2).
- In the case of sheets coextruded on both sides, however, this process is inapplicable. Here, the increased feed from one side would produce a thicker gusset on the other side, so the gain on one side would be offset by a loss on the other side (FIG. 3).
- It has now been found, surprisingly, that the gusset formation on each side may be virtually completely avoided by modifying the material flows during extrusion in such a way that a partial flow is tapped from the conventional material flow around the male insert of the die, said partial flow being fed directly into the center of the male insert of the die where mainly the rib of the sheets are formed. The material flow through the male insert is normally divided into an upper and a lower stream which flow together again before the outlet of the die from above and below, to produce the walls. However, this flowing of material from the upper and lower sides creates a typical “draining funnel”, which is filled with coextrusion material flowing in. A gusset is formed, as shown in FIG. 1. To enable part of the material to be fed directly into the center of the male insert of the die, according to the invention, the material flow from the outside material streams is reduced or even prevented, as shown in FIG. 4, and the funnel formation and hence the gusset formation or triangle effect is minimized, or preferably even completely avoided, on both sides of the sheet. The process according to the invention is therefore suitable for the production of multi-wall sheets coextruded on one or both sides.
- The present invention thus provides a process for applying an outer layer on multi-wall sheets by coextrusion, and the gussetless sheets, or sheets free of the triangle effect, prepared by the process. These sheets are distinguished by a particularly smooth surface and uniform, i.e. gussetless, coextruded layers. A multi-wall sheet coextruded on both sides is a preferred embodiment.
- The present invention therefore also provides an extrusion die for carrying out the process according to the invention.
- In addition to the conventional channels, sections and molds required for various purposes, are there channels which feed part of the inflowing material directly into the center of the male insert of the die. In a preferred embodiment, the material is fed directly forwards into the male insert from a region at the back of the die (FIG. 5).
- The present invention also provides a product containing said sheets. This product, which contains e.g. said coextruded multi-wall sheet, is preferably selected from the group comprising glazing, greenhouses, conservatories, verandas, car ports, bus shelters, roofings, partitions, cash kiosks and solar collectors.
- The process according to the invention has the substantial advantage of avoiding the triangle effect, which otherwise has noticeable adverse consequences due to gusset formation and the associated wastage of material, and by an uneven sheet surface. The coating material wasted in the gusset generally contains valuable thermoplastic containing expensive additives. It may be of considerable financial advantage to save such material.
- The process according to the invention is suitable for the production of a wide variety of coextruded layers and mainly for any conceivable functional layers, including in combination (UV protection and functional layer, e.g. IR reflection on the top and UV protection on the bottom), and is particularly suitable for the production of multi-wall sheets provided with UV protection on both sides.
- The coextruded multi-wall sheets according to the invention have further advantages over the state of the art. They may be produced by coextrusion, affording advantages over a product produced by lacquering. Thus, in contrast to lacquering, no solvents volatilize during coextrusion.
- Moreover, lacquers cannot be stored for long periods. Coextrusion does not have this disadvantage.
- Also, lacquers demand expensive technology. For example, they require explosion-proof machines and solvent recycling, i.e. high investment in plants. Coextrusion does not have this disadvantage.
- A preferred embodiment of the present invention is said multi-wall sheet coextruded on both sides wherein the core material and the coextruded layer can be made of identical or different thermoplastics. Preferably, both layers are based on the same material.

In the present case the procedure is preferably as follows: Extruders for producing the core material and coextrusion layer(s) are connected to a coextrusion adapter. The adapter is constructed so that the melt forming the coextrusion layer(s) is applied as a thin layer adhering to the melt for the core layer.
